Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Mushrooms (white or cremini)
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1.5 cups Beef broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the boneless pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs to ensure they adhere well. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded pork chops in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Place the cooked schnitzels onto serving plates and generously spoon the mushroom sauce over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade German Jaeger Schnitzel!
